The coming itself celebrated

In Psalm 97 the coming itself is celebrated; Jehovah has taken
to Him His great power and His reign. The earth and the multitude of
isles are to rejoice. Clouds and darkness are round about Him, for
it is the revelation of His judgments in power, not of
Himself. Righteousness and judgment ever characterise His
throne. The fire of judgment goes before Him and consumes His
enemies. Jehovah, the Lord of the whole earth, comes forth out of
His place. The heavens (for on earth there is none) in power declare
His righteousness. The peoples see His glory. The effect of the
judgment is then stated. Idol worship is confounded before Him, and
all power and authority, from angels downwards, are now to own
Him. But another fact comes out this was joy and deliverance to
Zion. The judgment of evil was her deliverance, for it was the
glorious exaltation of Jehovah, her God.* In verses 10-12 we see the
blessed objects of the deliverance the godly remnant. Light is sown
for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. It is a
very complete statement of the character of the Lord's coming to
earth.

{*This in Isaiah 30: 32, where the grounded staff, that is the
decreed rod, was to pass, it was with tabrets and harps.}
